    𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 Travelstart & 𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐎 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲!🥇💪 At the end of last year, we had the privilege of facilitating a Lego Serious Play workshop for the incredible team of emerging leaders at Travelstart. The session brought together 15 participants from across the company—including the CEO, team members from Marketing, Operations, and Finance—and remote participants, joining us from Stockholm. Our mission? To empower these young leaders with the tools and mindset needed to grow both individually and as a team. We focused on: 💡 Communication Skills – Enhancing active listening, reflection, and idea-sharing. ✅ Respect & Collaboration – Building mutual respect and working towards shared goals, even across different teams. 👏 Resilience & Adaptability – Strengthening the ability to navigate challenges and embrace change.  🌱 Teamwork & Shared Goals – Supporting collaboration for the bigger picture at Travelstart. 🏆 Bridging Gaps – Exploring how team members see themselves versus how others see them to enhance self-awareness and team dynamics. This hands-on, creative approach brought out invaluable insights, laughter, and a renewed sense of connection and purpose. It was inspiring to see leaders who are not only focused on growth but are also committed to supporting one another as they navigate their leadership journeys. A huge thank-you to the Travelstart team for their energy, openness, and enthusiasm during the session. This session was brought to life in collaboration with Circle Forward Global, whose expertise helped create a space for meaningful engagement and impact. Here's to continuing the journey of growth, collaboration, and innovation together! #𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑𝑫𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒑𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 #𝑳𝒆𝒈𝒐𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒚 #𝑻𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 #𝑬𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔 #𝑮𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒕𝒉𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒔𝒆𝒕 #𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕 #𝑪𝒊𝒓𝒄𝒍𝒆𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅

    Travelstart Times📰 We’re here to keep you in the know with the latest travel industry trends and updates. Whether you’re planning your next adventure or just love staying in the loop, we’ve got the insights to inspire and inform. 💼 Travel trend: "People are drawn to trends because they offer a sense of structure and understanding in an increasingly complex and fast-paced world" - Jenny Southan. 💻According to a recent article by BCC, we can expect to see technology start to play a larger role in trip planning: travel tech company Amadeus found that almost 50% of its customers are planning to prioritise generative AI through 2025. 🌿Calmcations—vacations dedicated solely to fostering a sense of tranquility—remain a top trend for 2025. The World Health Organization highlighted noise pollution, especially from traffic, as the second leading cause of ill health in Western Europe, so travellers are searching for quiet escapes. ✈️ Industry News: Morocco visa applicants must now apply in person at the Embassy in Pretoria unless eligible for an eVisa (valid UK, Schengen, Canada, Australia, NZ, Japan, USA, or Irish visas over 90 days). Asia is preparing for a surge in travel as new visa-free initiatives draw in more visitors eager to discover its cultural landmarks and business prospects. 🌍 Destination Spotlight: This week we focus on Cape Town: After finishing in 2nd place in 2024, Cape Town has been named world's best city for 2025 by Time Out. Cape Town earned its 2025 title with its stunning mix of natural beauty, rich culture, and modern innovation. From Table Mountain and pristine beaches to its world-class wine regions, the city offers unmatched scenery. Its vibrant art scene, diverse cuisine, and historic landmarks add cultural depth, while sustainability initiatives showcase its forward-thinking spirit. Warm, resilient people complete Cape Town’s appeal, making it a truly extraordinary destination. Sources in the comments💛

    There’s no doubting the promise of Africa’s travel market. In November 2023, when the WTTC convened in Kigali, Rwanda, it announced that the African travel & tourism sector could add $168 billion to the continent’s economy and create over 18 million new jobs. And with its young, social and mobile demographic, digital travel is where the growth is. #WiTAfrica, co-hosted by Travelstart & Innovation City Cape Town in its second year, will be laser-focused on unlocking these opportunities...
